Greetings!
I have been running three sticks of 7CAS 1600 G.Skill memory with my x58 i7-930 combo since day one. It works flawlessly. However, it is only a 6gb kit. I'd like to move up to 12gb. I also want to stay with 7CAS. Sadly, 12gb (3x4gb) kits of 1600 7CAS G.Skill memory have disappeared from NewEgg.
My question is, would a a four-pack of F3-1280CL7Q 16GBZM work in an x58 motherboard (installing only three modules, keeping the fourth as backup)? Or are these newer modules truly designed for modern quad-channel motherboards only and can't be used in my tri-channel x58 ASUS?
Thanks!
